I could try to change your mind, but I won't
How could I see what's in your heart, if you don't
If the time has come and gone, will I know
What I know right now
The world's crying through your eyes
I'm sorry that we said goodbye
I know you'll feel better
Just give it a little time
Such a lovely day to find
Something that you keep inside is open (open)
Find another way to go
Telling everyone you know it's over (over)
I will learn to see with my heart again
I will learn to breathe and start again
No more lonely days
No more lonely days
No more lonely days
No, no more lonely days
No more lonely days
No more lonely days
Such a lovely day to find
Something that you keep inside is open (open)
Find another way to go
Telling everyone you know it's over (over)

Lonely Days

Alex Siegel

look out the airplane window
to the clouds like snow
a cotton candy ocean below

where will you go tomorrow
to london or la
did you pack your own bags today

ooo the world is so wide
it makes my head spin
round and roud
makes my head turn
round and round
round and round

fireworks from an airplane
on the fourth of july
a thoughtless conversation goes by

and on the road to august
we stopped out of the heat
thought of all the people we’ll meet

the world is so wide
it makes my head spin
round and round
it makes my head turn
round and round
round and round

the world is so wide
it makes my head spin
round and round
it makes my head turn
round and round
round and round

Headspin

did I say too much
talking to you
on the phone
last night

overgrown
overpass
so fast
downtown

overgrew
overdue
with you
downtown

Overgrown

~of course~ I will have my genesis piece be the closer from the 'all this leaving' EP

Every song on ‘all this leaving’ was written in and plotted the depths of the worst period of depression and realignment in my life. Each song was a milestone and a marker on the spectrum of different feelings and ways I was coping. The idea that this EP mapped my descent and ascent out of a period of depression seems so obvious now but while it was being made I was drowning too deep to recognize it.  Each song was a message in a bottle sent to my later self. Maybe they were calls for help. Maybe it was just pure catharsis. But now I’m on the beach picking them up and uncorking what they truly represent.

coming home is different than the rest of the songs on the ep though. It's the opposite of leaving. Bob Dylan always described songwriting as “finding his way back home”.  This song is me finding my way home and grounding myself through the music itself.

SUBCIETY - Fight It (J.Fur Remix)

SUBCIETY

The conversations around global black music are changing. Hip-Hop’s dominance of the first two decades of the millennium, in combination with Afrobeats’ meteoric rise in worldwide popularity,  has the world at a cultural crossroads. At the interesection of these cultural movements are the cities that have propelled and bolstered their growth: Atlanta & Lagos.
 
Written and released between trips to and from the Sister Cities, Kelechief’s forthcoming album “ATLagos” is his contribution to the shifting cultural landscape. The Atlanta native, who is also the son of Nigerian immigrants, samples vibes from both sides of the Atlantic. Trap. Afrobeats. RnB. Highlife. Drill. Alte. Jazz. Amapiano. The album represents, wrestles with, and celebrates both sides of Kelechief identity.
 
The Amaarae assisted “Fine Wine” is a smooth altè influenced tune driven by a lush piano sample and bouncing drums.
